[Whoosh—]
A sound of something cutting through the air could be heard.
Then a golden light flashed.
[Next.]
A gentle voice rang out.
"Am I late?"
[Buzz—]
Hiruzen Sarutobi's pupils suddenly contracted.
[He was also taken aback.]
[This voice...it can't be wrong!]
There's absolutely no way it could be wrong!
Hiruzen Sarutobi's breathing became rapid.
[So that's what happened before.]
It's not fake!
It's not an illusion either...
[But...it's real!]
The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze!
[Former Nine-Tails Jinchuriki: Kushina Uzumaki!]
[Tsunade... Shizune... Hiashi Hyuga...]
But... how is that possible?!
[No!]
Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly turned his head to look.
That familiar, gentle smile.
Even with its failing eyesight, it can still recognize it.
It is definitely Minato Namikaze!
[and...]
[That's perfectly normal!]
This is the most important thing!
[This is also the point that Hiruzen Sarutobi least wants to believe deep down.]
[This is not a body reborn through the Impure World Reincarnation.]
[He's a...living, breathing person!]
[It seems that on the night of the Nine-Tails' rampage, Minato Namikaze didn't die, but fell into a deep sleep, and has now awakened!]
Hei Tu: "Hehehe~!"
Black Earth: "Old man, you're all sweaty, aren't you?!"
Kurotsuchi's arrogant voice provoked Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Bang--
Within the underground base of the root tissue.
Hiruzen Sarutobi slammed his hand on the table.
His face was full of anger.
But let's actually let it say something.
Its mind was like mush; it couldn't think of anything or say anything.
Tobirama Senju and Hashirama Senju also turned to look.
Orochimaru's smile froze.
[He looked sideways, his face filled with disbelief.]
[Wait until you can clearly see who it is.]
Orochimaru was truly dumbfounded.
My mind went completely blank.
This method.
I've never even heard of it, let alone seen it.
No wonder they couldn't be resurrected using the Impure World Reincarnation technique.
Furthermore, look at Minato Namikaze's condition.
It's quite obvious.
Minato Namikaze is not an Edo Tensei!
[But rather, it was with anger!]
[She's a living, breathing person!]
Just as Orochimaru finished his questioning and began to ponder what was going on...
Tobirama Senju raised an eyebrow.
"Flying Thunder God?"
[Looking at the trident-shaped kunai in Minato Namikaze's hand.]
Tobirama Senju narrowed his eyes slightly.
[After observing the Thor's Flight Technique.]
She glanced again at the excessively young and handsome man.
"Very young...that's quite impressive."
"They actually wield the Flying Thunder God Technique even better than I, the creator of it."
"No, the Second Hokage is the one who understands this technique best."
"I'm just standing on the shoulders of giants to broaden my horizons."
[Upon hearing this.]
Tobirama Senju's icy expression vanished.
A smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.
However, he still crossed his arms over his chest.
[She seems a bit arrogant.]
"Hmph!"
"Excessive humility is arrogance."
[Hahaha~]
Hashirama Senju, standing to the side, couldn't help but laugh.
[It's heartwarming to see that there are still young people like this in Konoha.]
[As far as those who are already dead are concerned.]
He was really happy.
Nothing made him happier than this.
Hmm... unless someone's standing right next to him right now.
Pure Land World.
Hashirama Senju shook his head.
now.
Looking at this scene on the large screen with its black border.
He was still happy.
only.
I can no longer empathize with the version of myself resurrected through Edo Tensei in the black-framed big screen.
Was he... really that happy?
have no idea.
perhaps.
It means we've forgotten our original aspirations.
perhaps.
It has already developed a new "original aspiration".
The original intention has changed.
Hashirama Senju plopped down on the ground.
Close your eyes.
He kept rubbing his temples.
It's as if he's struggling with himself again.
...
The large screen with its black border continues to display the image:
"Minato...?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes widened.
[I couldn't help but murmur to myself.]
Minato Namikaze maintained his signature gentle smile.
He nodded to Tobirama Senju and Hashirama Senju.
Then he looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi.
The smile vanished instantly.
[He said in a flat tone:]
"Three generations."
"It's been a long time."
[Hearing this tone of voice.]
Hiruzen Sarutobi's mind went blank.
For a moment, I didn't know how to face it.
Especially...
[The image of that hot-tempered red-haired woman involuntarily surfaced in Hiruzen Sarutobi's mind.]
Blood Red Pepper!
It could almost picture Kushina Uzumaki standing next to Minato Namikaze right now.
What kind of expression would they have?
If she were still the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
[No need for the Nine-Tailed Fox's bewitching power.]
[He has directly activated Tailed Beast Transformation.]
Tobirama Senju: "He is indeed a very outstanding young man."
Tobirama Senju: "Monkey... never mind, I'm too lazy to say anything more."
Uchiha Izuna: However, I still have a question.
Uchiha Izuna: Didn't Minato go to catch that brat Danzo?
Uchiha Izuna: Why did you come here?
Ino Yamanaka: "The Admiral's Father."
Ino Yamanaka: "I think Uncle Minato just wanted to stop that old bastard Danzo."
Ino Yamanaka: "My original intention was to stop that old bastard Danzo for Aunt Kushina and Aunt Tsunade, so that they could take revenge themselves."
Ino Yamanaka: "As a result, Aunt Kushina and Aunt Tsunade stopped and dealt with the Sarutobi group that had grown stronger by eating human blood buns."
Ino's words.
Like a sharp blade.
It plunged deep into the hearts of several people.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's face turned ashen.
Danzo was called "old bastard" by everyone.
He was so angry that the fat on his old face trembled uncontrollably.
certainly.
There are more than just these two.
On Tsunade's side.
Several blue veins were already bulging on his fair and smooth forehead.
Aunt? !
Aunt? ! !
Aunt? ! ! !
She took a few deep breaths.
The proud dual-spirit beast trembled incessantly.
Shizune, who was beside Tsunade, quickly patted her back to help her catch her breath and comforted her.
"Koino is right."
"However, I'm the one who should be called 'Auntie,' not Lady Tsunade~"
Tsunade: "..."
She has a strong urge to kill someone right now.
real.
I wish I could tear Danzo to pieces.
...
The large screen with its black border continues to display the image:
["etc."]
"Watergate?"
"Minato Namikaze?"
"The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze..."
"Always with girls?"
Hashirama Senju blinked.
[Looking at Minato Namikaze.]
"So young."
"You're already the Fourth Hokage?"
[Upon hearing Hashirama Senju's words.]
Minato Namikaze flashed his signature gentle smile once again.
["Yes."]
["Hehehe~" Orochimaru suddenly laughed.]
She's figured it out!
"Watergate."
"It's... Naruto-kun's doing, isn't it?"
Orochimaru couldn't resist sticking out his long tongue and licking his dry lips.
My heart rate is increasing.
The way he looked at Minato Namikaze also became somewhat strange.
She really wants to study Minato Namikaze right now.
